Hyprov

Hilarious. Unpredictable. Unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

From improv legend Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and world-renowned hypnotist Asad Mecci, HYPROV is a boundary-breaking comedy experience that fuses hypnosis and improvisation into one electrifying show. The New York Times raves, “the audience erupted in laughter … it killed.” Time Out New York calls it “hilarious and fascinating.” The Wall Street Journal praises it as “catnip for those who relish spontaneity.”

How It Works:

Twenty audience volunteers take the stage — completely voluntarily. Within minutes, Asad Mecci guides them into a state of fearless creativity. The most receptive “Hyprovisors” then join Colin Mochrie to perform a completely improvised comedy show — while hypnotized.

No script. No safety net. Just raw imagination and real laughter unfolding live. With improvised music driving the rhythm, every performance is a one-of-a-kind high-wire act of comedy, chaos, and connection. HYPROV isn’t just a show — it’s part mind experiment, part comedy lab, and 100 percent entertainment.

No two nights are ever the same. Whether you’re a Whose Line fan, a live-comedy junkie, or simply chasing an unforgettable night out, HYPROV delivers.
